    My characters often end up exasperated by how idiotic and chaotic the other characters players are. That checks out.

    “So the walls started bleeding, a thousand voices cried out in pain, and a sinkhole into the unseen depths opened in the kitchen.”

    “Right.”

    “And you, a normal human with no magical powers or special equipment, you jumped into the sinkhole.”

    “Yes.”

    “Why?”

    “It was there!”

    “And then your character died, as one would expect from a hundred foot drop onto stone. And now?”

    “I don’t understand. What else was I supposed to do??”

      Ok, so, the trick is to make sure the NPC’s are the same way. That’ll really confuse the players.

      Person jumps off a roof and splats in front of the party

      player: “why did that happen?”

      dm: “They had just purchased boots of flying from an untrustworthy source and figured this was the best way of testing them.”
